The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, giving you the straight goods on Riviere de Galets for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a grind, so let’s not sugarcoat it.
We kick off on Monday the 14th with some 6ft swell out of the SSW, 13-second period, but a 15 mph SSE wind is blowing right on it. Water temp is 76°, just a touch warmer than usual.
From Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th, forget it. The wind stays strong and cross or cross-onshore. Tuesday the 15th brings a 10ft SE windswell with a short, weak 8-second period and a brutal 25 mph wind. Just messy.
Wednesday the 16th has a big 10ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-16 second period – the energy is massive. But it’s too big for this spot. Only for experts, and even then the wind is cross-shore with rain.
Thursday the 17th through Monday the 21st is a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. Swell drops to 5ft to 7ft, but the wind stays cross or cross-onshore from the ESE or E at 12-18 mph. The waves will be lumpy and choppy. Nothing to get excited about.
Now, Wednesday the 23rd of September gives us a small window. The morning has a light cross-offshore wind from the ENE at 9 mph, with a 4ft SSW groundswell running on a long 15-second period. The energy is moderate. It’s not big, but the wind is clean. For a reef and point, that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. That’s your best bet in the whole run.
From there it’s back to the same story. Thursday the 24th is small and light wind but cross-shore. Friday the 25th through Monday the 29th is more of the same: moderate cross-shore or cross-onshore winds, with some bigger swell (8ft on Sunday the 27th) but never with the right wind. Too big and too messy.
So here’s the call: point your truck toward the morning of Wednesday the 23rd. That’s the only time the wind plays nice and the swell is ridable. Everything else is a fight against the breeze.
